I've considerably lowered my expectations of the General Chat populace over the years. It's so low right now that I find refuge in the quality of the photo thread.

Will you people quit whining? It's summer, which is newbie season. Wait for the kiddies to go back to school and forget this ever happened. EoFF has always been so isolated. Have any of you people ever been to bigger forums? Maybe a band's forums or different game's official boards? Yeah, EoFF is not that bad. If you have a problem with this community you:
1. Haven't seen the others.
2. Need to find a smaller community.
3. Need to stop whining about it, it's natural.
I see very few warned posts in GC. If there were more, we'd be much more likely to catch it.
Nobody's forcing you to post in any of these 'dumb' threads, so you can ignore them if you like. Likewise, nothing's stopping you from starting your own conversation about something you want to discuss, so go ahead and do it or stop complaining. Sure, General Chat's seen better days, but that's because of fewer good threads being made, rather than an increase in the number of bad threads.
However, I agree that a competition of some sort would liven up GC a bit. Another decathlon would be a good idea, or maybe even something new.

If you don't like what people post, warn their posts. *shrugs*
That's just the problem. If you start a thread on a topic you find interesting, it gets spammed into last century before you know it. It's not possible to have a thorough, intelligent discussion in GC.Likewise, nothing's stopping you from starting your own conversation about something you want to discuss, so go ahead and do it or stop complaining.

You've hit the nail on the head, Big D. I've seen threads started in GC that could have been decent, but have closed down (some by me) because other members see them as nothing more than a new field to spam in.

This is how I feel about the situation too. If people would like to see more serious discussion in GC, please warn the spam posts and we'll handle it. We try our best to keep it decent, but we can't catch all of it.
I don't mind deleting some spam posts, but what bothers me most is when the same people continue to act that way after their previous spam has been deleted. Your posts being deleted should be a pretty clear indication that that type of content is not welcome, yet members don't seem to react that way. Either they are too dumb to get that or they just don't have much respect for the rules. Maybe an announcement should be made to clear this issue up.

I'd say that thorough, intelligent discussion is more suited to EoEo, and that GC is home of the 'What's your favourite brand of toothpaste?' style of thread. Most of the threads I've seen have stayed pretty much true to their original topic, its just that the topic itself was pretty spammy to begin with. I'm not trying to say that there isn't a problem, just that not every thread in GC is being ruined by spam. A stricter stance on spam/off-topic posting would help, but the forum isn't going to improve without some decent topics.
An announcement would be a good idea. Nobody outside of feedback will ever take any notice of these concerns otherwise.

According to Del, Leeza is too dumb to understand that she has posted spam, or else has no respect for the rules. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because posts like this are much more enjoyable, for the poster and the reader, than "I WANT TO READ PSYCHOTIC's PMS HE IS HOT!"

Ew, no. One of me is more than enough, even for me.
